Built on the crest of a hillside on the north bank of the river Indre in a neo-gothic style. This little Chateau dates back as far as the 15th century.
Approaching the Chateau de Vaugrignon on the access driveway flanked by trees and protected by a canopy of foliage, you notice immediately one of the round towers of which there are three, this time of a canvas nature.
It's really quite splendid.
The main access drive leads up to the little chateau with, to one side a Longere-style building.
The chateau looks out over the glorious landscape, with in the near distance, the grounds of the chateau which were designed by Eugène Bahler, a famous local landscape garden designer. Replete with rare and tropical plants and vegetation.

About the towers; in front of the south-east tower which has been restored into an "oratoire"( to your left as you enter), there is a quad replete with seating, protected from the elements by canvas canopies, the south-west is in ruins but you can still use its stone steps to go down to the second terrace, and the third, also restored, was the defensive tower facing the commons of the north-east.
extra info:
Deer come out of the woods to graze by your window as you have breakfast.
Where one is treated to:-
Home made jam.
Organic fruit juices.
The choice from 16 different types of tea.( who said the French don't understand their 'infusions'!)
